Injuries suffered by Rockies starting pitchers Drew Pomeranz and Jeremy Guthie do not appear as serious as first thought.

Pomeranz exited Friday night’s game against the Mets in the fourth inning because of tightness in his left forearm. That often can be a sign of elbow trouble, but Pomeranz said Saturday that his forearm is fine. He expects to make his next scheduled start Wednesday against the Dodgers.

“I’m good to go, no problems,” Pomeranz said Saturday. “I don’t see any issues.”

Manager Jim Tracy said that he “erred on the side of caution” when he removed Pomeranz after 67 pitches.

Guthrie, Colorado’s opening-day starter, sprained his right shoulder in a cycling accident Friday afternoon on a trail near downtown. He was placed on the 15-day disabled list Saturday, but the move is retroactive to his last start, so he will be eligible to come off the disabled list May 7. An MRI exam showed no structural damage.

The Rockies have penciled him in as the starter that night in San Diego.

Guthrie routinely rides his bike to and from the ballpark, a practice he’s carried on for years. The injury occurred when his chain broke and he was tossed from his bike.

“It was a kind of a freak accident,” said Guthrie, who played light catch Saturday. “Most of the contact was on my elbow and it kind of jammed my shoulder. I have some pain, and when that goes away, I would assume, yes, I will be healthy.”

Guillermo Moscoso, called up from Triple-A Colorado Springs, started in Guthrie’s place Saturday night against the Mets.

The Rockies also received a positive update on lefty Jorge De La Rosa, who’s on the road back from Tommy John elbow surgey.

He drew rave reviews after a six-inning start Friday in extended spring training in Arizona against an Oakland A’s squad. De La Rosa threw 72 pitches and allowed one earned run. He struck out nine. De La Rosa’s fastball hummed at 91-92 mph. He could be back in the Rockies’ rotation in June.

MONTREAL — It’s a big deal to play or coach hockey in Montreal and Toronto, and for first-year Avalanche coach Jared Bednar, it’s bound to be extra special because it will be his first time in those historic Original Six markets. Indeed, the Canadian native from Yorkton, Saskatchewan, has never been to the Bell Centre or Air Canada Centre — where...

Shortly before the season began, Holmes, who had been dealing with a nagging hip since September, finally went in to get an X-ray to get the injury addressed. That X-ray revealed a mass on his hip, and following a biopsy, doctors diagnosed Holmes with Osteosarcoma.
